Scalable Processors from Microway

New CPUs shipping across line of turnkey workstations, clusters, and servers for HPC and AI.

Microway has announced that bleeding-edge 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (“Cascade Lake-SP”) are now shipping in volume across all Microway Xeon offerings, including next-generation NumberSmasher™ clusters, servers, and WhisperStations.

This new family of processors boosts performance for Microway custom deployments with increased CPU core counts, higher memory capacity and bandwidth, improved clock speeds, and innovative new features for HPC, AI, and Deep Learning. A Microway analysis finds that, without exception, 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs are expected to outperform their predecessors. Plus, these processors provide greater price-performance than ever before.

Upgraded Microway NumberSmasher™ servers include configurations in 1-4U footprints, as well as NumberSmasher 2U Twin² high-density nodes (4 nodes in 2U)—all shipping in volume. 2P configurations are available with 2-sockets of Xeon Silver, Gold, and Platinum processors and up to 6TB of memory, and 4-Socket configurations deliver up to 112 cores and 12TB of memory. NumberSmasher Servers with 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Processors also support new Intel® Optane™ Datacenter Persistent Memory and Intel Deep Learning Boost Instructions (VNNI).

To ensure a superior customer experience, Microway thoroughly tests every cluster, server, and WhisperStation™ thoroughly with applications shown to cause faults in the field. All components must withstand sustained 100% load for multiple days before approved for shipment. A complete Linux and/or cluster software integration is also performed.

On Demand An edge data facility is still a data center. One still and must consider design, construction, and operational habits that result in high levels of system availability, maintainability, and resiliency. The disaggregation that edge poses will distribute compute and storage assets, and the challenge will be placing edge assets into sufficiently robust facilities or enclosures outside of traditional data centers where those local solutions can equally sustain those IT operations and systems.

As power consumption requirements of both server and switch components within the IT stack expand, users are having to reconsider their power distribution strategies to balance and manage power more effectively. More power means more heat, thicker cabling and overall denser environments, which requires infrastructure upgrades. Learn key considerations for high density rack environments and effective power distribution strategies to better future-proof your infrastructure.
